Cool!

But there is a little glitch with this new Mode(with CTRL): when you make a second click on the first click!
All disapears for ever in the space dimension with also the figure! :)

Hmm, my script doesn't interact with any objects except of dimension lines. I looks like a MoI bug, caused by bug in my script (division by zero). Anyway it's my fault. I've already fixed it. I'll upload new version today evening.

Please, is it possible to get the output in curves instead of surfaces? I think it's more lightweight and it's possible to export them without using hidden line removal algorithm.

Hi Max, re: make curves instead of surfaces, open the file _Dimensions.htm in a text editor, and edit the line that creates the text factory. It's this one here:

var text = factory ('text', moi.VectorMath.createTopFrame(), tx, fontName, false, false, 'surfaces', textSize, 0, false);

Edit that to replace 'surfaces' with 'curves' and then it will make curve text rather than surface text.

<< it will make curve text rather than surface
And for the Arrows ?

>>And for the Arrows ?

I don't like this idea. If you need curves you can click Dimensions style, select all, select edges, ctrl+c, ctrl+v. It will take 3-4 seconds.
My script works correctly with surfaces only. If you change surfaces to curves, snapping will be enabled for all objects including anotations and dimension lines.

No problem! :)

it is better to turn outside the circle , explanation on the next POST :
il est préférable de tourner en dehors du cercle, explication dans le prochain POST:

v.0.9a (fixed: division by zero bug)

This will be in the next version. Of course there will be degrees instead of cm.

wastzzz
replace line: arrow = concat ( factory ('planarsrf', arrow), text);
with: arrow = concat (arrow, text);

Pilou wrote about this problem. It has been fixed.

<< Of course there will be degrees instead of cm.

And also i suppose any text you want? (with the help of "|" and "*") ;)

Pilou, yes.

Another little thing! :)

When you increase the line ( with your option Concat above) you can have some cool forms!

But the position of text is not following! (sure I can move it in a second but when you have 100 dimensions... ;)



Can we have an enter Box of distance text or similar ? (text can be inside or outside in this last case )

Cool but how it's work ? :)
I see a new Type 6 but...

Use Arrow type 6 and press the CTRL key whilst clicking on the corner point.


Martin.

Must be another thing because that dimension length not angle! ;)



Ah I have found! You must disable Units! :)



Ps Does it be possible to dimension a curve ?
(maybe in connexion with CurveLengthBeingDrawn ?
or CurveLength?

script: /* Show CurveLengthBeingDrawn */ try { moi.ui.commandUI.setInterval( 'var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(); var len = 0.0; if ( crvs.length > 0 ) { len = crvs.item(crvs.length-1).getLength(); } if ( !window["_crvdistlabel"] ) { document.body.insertAdjacentHTML( "beforeEnd", "" ); } _crvdistlabel.innerText = len.toFixed(4);', 250 ); } catch(e) {}

script:/* Calculate length of selected curves and copy to the clipboard as text */ var crvs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects().getCurves(); var len = 0.0; for ( var i = 0; i < crvs.length; ++i ) len += crvs.item(i).getLength(); moi.copyTextToClipboard( len );

Something like this but with the Arrowline following the curve! :)



French version! :) http://moiscript.weebly.com/cotations.html



Pss We can't dimension an arc circle >180° !

Great job Max, Thanks!

Hi Max,

angle measurements is excellent feature!

Thank you very much.

I've adjusted slightly the function of Arrow type 5. In new version the length of line is controlled by text length, see bellow please.

Old version:



New version:



I've increased the Scale value to 100 as well, because 40 was not sufficient for bigger models.

Thanks again for perfect script.

Mik
